Cover Art for Lot 62

The multi-talented Dawne Dominique has created the classy cover for my upcoming spy mystery short, Lot 62. She previously did the artwork for two of my books, Grandiloquence and the first Esther May Morrow anthology, Buy or Borrow. This one's another winner.

Julie Blalock is approaching thirty and has an unfulfilling job with an accountancy firm. But she also has a secret—she was once an MI6 Agent. A personal tragedy forced her to quit eight years ago, but a chance offer to return for a one-time op is too tempting to ignore. Her mission—to pose as a rich socialite at Sotheby's, to gain critical intelligence during the most anticipated high-class auction of the year—Esther May Morrow's sale of antique treasures, featuring Lot 62, a prize that has even the Ministry of Defence worried. What secrets will Julie discover on her impromptu return to espionage?

Lot 62: An Esther May Morrow Mystery is scheduled for release on January 7th at Eternal Press.
